Modern rectangular InfoWindow on maps.google.com

Question

How can I style google maps v3 InfoWindow to achieve the same style as on maps.google.com?

Answer 1

Rectangular InfoWindows are now the default style since Maps API 3.7 (current nightly version).

Answer 2

The API does not provide for robust styling of the InfoWindow objects (or, if it does, it is not documented). You can see what options are available at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html#InfoWindowOptions. As you can see, right now, there's nothing for things like rounded corners vs. not-rounded corners, etc.

So, sorry to say, it would seem like you are stuck messing with stylesheets, at least at the current time.

Answer 3

Actually thats the first time i'm seeing this. Im sure with google's new design update they are sure to update the Api windows. For the meantime I would use: Google Maps: How to create a custom InfoWindow?
